A Chinese explorer in the alleged Noah's Ark in Mount Agri (Ararat) East Turkey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDespite the team consisting of Chinese Evangelical Christian researchers and Turkish explorers, bringing specimens consisting of ropes, nails and pieces of wood from the Ark experts and the public were spectacle of the finding as not enough images or a video of the exploration were produced.<\/p>\n
However recently a Video has been posted on News Channels and popular video sharing websites of the exploration at mount Ararat (Agri Mountain) which was released by the Noah\u2019s Ark Ministries International.<\/p>\n
The specimens which were brought back from the alleged wresting spot of the Ark had already been carbon dated to 4,800 years ago which had put hopes up that the finding was indeed the famous Ark which has great religious significance.<\/p>\n
The new video according to some experts is just a way for the team to prove that they were not hoaxing the finding as so many people had believed.<\/p>\n
The video posted by the explorers is also allegedly the third time the team have actually been to the site which they are keeping the location as a secret. The team have said that they had initially found the site in 2007, returned back to it in 2008, and then returned to the site once more in October 2009 but this time with a film crew.<\/p>\n
Panda Lee a member of the Noah\u2019s Ark Ministries International spoke of the 2008 visit and said “I saw a structure built with plank-like timber, each plank was about eight inches wide. I could see tenons, proof of ancient construction predating the use of metal nails,”<\/p>\n
“I could see broken wood fragments embedded in a glacier, and some 20 metres long. I surveyed the landscape and found that the wooden structure was permanently covered by ice and volcanic rocks.”<\/p>\n
Some experts also said that the finding was probably that of a human settlement and though it is a significant find, it is not the remains of the famous Ark. This thought was fiercely denied by the explorers and said \u201cwe have never found a human settlement above 3,500 meters in the history of mankind, the Ark was at 4,000 meters\u201d.<\/p>\n
But despite all the rumours and questions surrounding the find, religious websites were quick to react to the finding, and haled it a miracle.<\/p>\n
The find has also left the Turkish government buzzing, with tourism already on the up due to the publicity the country has received by the alleged finding. The Turkish government is already applying for a UNESCO World Heritage site for the find. It was also announced that a major archaeological dig will be carried out at mount Ararat.<\/p>\nSpider webs at the alleged Noah's Ark <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAccording to religious faiths including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and many other, Noah was ordered by God to build a ship to house his family, himself and the world\u2019s animals from a huge flood which was to perish earth. It is then believed that when the waters receded, the Ark rested at a mountain.<\/p>\n
Man-fai Yuen, who is one of the researchers, said “The structure is partitioned into different spaces, we believe that the wooden structure we entered is the same structure recorded in historical accounts and the same ancient boat indicated by the locals.”<\/p>\n
However Dr. Randall Price, a former member of the group who found the alleged Ark has cast great doubt on the finding. Dr. Price said “If the world wants to think this is a wonderful discovery, that\u2019s fine. My problem is that, in the end, proper analysis may show this to be a hoax and negatively reflect how gullible Christians can be,”<\/p>\n
Turkish website however, have hailed the finding as a great hoax as, an image of the\u00a0alleged\u00a0Ark has a spider web on it which scientists say is impossible as spiders cannot live in those temperatures and\u00a0altitude.<\/p>\n
